The manager who was working the front door of a restaurant says people were waiting in line to get in when the shooting happened. He said he strongly believed there were multiple shooters involved as they found three different kinds of shell casings in and around their business. 

“They had to have started over here on the sidewalk and made their way out to the middle of the steet here shooting back and forth,” said Fred Hwang, a witness. “That’s why there’s broken glass here and over here and also eright next to our building, there’s a broken window.” 

Officers learned that 12 people – all adults – were wounded in the shooting. Eleven people suffered non-life threatening injuries, while one man died.

No one is in custody at this time. The case is still under investigation.
